Hello friends.
Christmas is coming up fast, and a family a few towns over from ours could use a little help with some Christmas cheer. Kristin is a now single mom of 11 children, trying to put herself through nursing school so she can make a better living to support her family.

You have not described the circumstances of her widowhood or why her children are orphans (assuming it is that – no life insurance? Divorced is distinct from single). Sorry to have to ask, but these days, there is no small problem with misplaced charity. With the legal system as it is, trust is broken.

From the fundraiser she has going to help put her through nursing school:
“I have been a single mother for almost 7 years. My youngest child is seven. I am homeschooling 6 children while going to school full time plus, along with my two oldest at home.

My husband abandoned us when I had ten young children at home, 17 down to infant. Over the years, my oldest boys have worked and given all of their income to support their siblings, as my ex does not pay child support. Last week the State informed me that they are not going to pursue my case because since the beginning, he has done everything in his power to elude the system and they don’t feel it’s worth their time to go after him.”
